Ideological Narratives of Play in Tropico 4 and Crusader Kings II
Commercial digital games that lack explicit ideological agendas nonetheless embed ideology through their mechanics, and this study examines how such "ideological narratives of play" emerge.
- Games without explicit ideological agendas still embed ideology through their procedural mechanics, and this meaning emerges through play rather than explicit messaging, drawing on Althusserian theory and Bogost and Frasca's concept of procedural rhetoric.
- Procedural mechanics give games a dual capacity: they can reinforce dominant ideologies or open space for critique, depending on which choices the systems reward.
- In Tropico 4 (Haemimont Games, 2011), rewarding popular satisfaction, supported by a dehumanized satirical population, steers players toward a satisfied, socialist-leaning society that makes utopian alternatives appear achievable.
